The WCJT wants to express our gratitude to all those who made our recent

play FUGU a tremendous success: the writers, the actors, the production

designers and especially our audience of past Season Subscribers, longtime

friends & patrons and new audience members.

For the future of 2017 and beyond, we're planning a series of play readings

and full productions coming very soon. Please refer to this website often for

Fugu by Steven G. Simon and Howard Teichman is a masterful, timely work of art, blending life, love, and conflict in a compelling narrative highlighting Jews in 1941 Kobe, Japan.

West Coast Jewish Theatre (WCJT), founded in 1993, often astonishes with the originality of its new plays and performs a remarkable service by reviving less familiar works dealing with Jewish themes. Its breadth and scope continue to impress.

Thanks to playwrights Steven G. Simon and Howard Teichman, this true story of Jews escaping the Holocaust has come to vivid life in FUGU.
